mini rant
So today in my Major English Authors class, the cutest old lady walks in. She's kinda batty/wacky and tells the class that she's been sick all Christmas Break and still feels under the weather. She got her phd in English studies with a focus on how body image as changed. Really neat lady, rambles a lot. So she tells the class its not a Writing Intensive class, and everyone starts freaking out because we have to write one paper-2/3 pages and do some journal entries-which consist of 1-2 paragraphs. And all these little fucking freshman and shit start muttering under their breath that this is bs and why are we writing so much and not be writing intensive. Right after she says this she gets really quite and breathes deeply and asks to be excused she's not feeling well. She walks up the stairs slowly and the whole class starts making fun of her, how she talks and how there is so much work in the class. We have to read Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea and a book about how bodies have over the last couple centuries and do a little writing with one short answer test. I mean come the fuck on people, not a hard work load and she's so lenient.
She comes back and says shes not been able to keep food down so we're just going to take roll and then we will be dismissed. She apologizes in case she gets our names wrong. So we get to this chick a few seats away from me, her last name is Leanard or something, and the teacher says 'have you ever read any of charles leanard (i cant remember if thats correct) but she says no and the teacher goes on to say that he was one of the first major porno writers way way back when. And the girl gets this attitude with the teacher, and the teacher tries to cover for a possible embarrassment to the girl and the girl still talks back to her.
On to the next fat chick sitting two away from me, her name is Robin Crowson, she pronounces it crows-on and the girl snaps at her with this venom in her voice and says Crow-son like the bird, crow-son and says it again. And the teacher apologizes but seriously how many times has a teacher gotten a name wrong and had students get an attitude about and be nasty. I was so mad I almost stood up and said something when she left for the second time because she felt sick. If these underclassmen fucks are this mean to her again on Thursday heads are going to roll.
Anyway-shes a rad teacher and I love classes that take tradition views and put more of a concentration on it instead of just making us read the generic shit.
That's my rant, it was mostly just for Val and Radiodead has confirmed Charlotte as a tour date!!!
